* Way too much maltitol in almost all the Atkins bars and candies. The only time I can eat anything with maltitol is at night when I'm staying home because the "laxative effect" is embarrassing and disgusting. And no, I did not eat more than the "serving size"...matter of fact, I usually eat less than than that and still get gassy. They taste great, though...that's why they got 2 stars instead of just 1!

* I have been waiting, forever it seems like, for some manufacturer to offer a lower carb/sugar free equivalent of the popular M&M's candies and it finally happened. Somehow I knew Atkins would be the one to succeed. To me these like all other Atkins lower carb, endulgent sweet treats taste exactly like their sugary counterparts. I have tasted both the plain candy coated chocolate pieces and the peanut candy coated pieces and they both met my expectations and went well beyond. I am very sensitive to sugar alcohols but these are worth the minimal side effects from time to time when consumed in moderation. If you miss those sugar laden, carb loaded sweet treats that you enjoyed either as a kid or as an adult with the mindset of being a kid at heart, like me, do yourself a favor and enjoy one of the many options from the Atkins Endulge Candies line!

* I love these new Atkins Endulge (Mock) M&M Peanut Candies. I feel like I'm eating the real thing, as with most sugar alcohol's, if you eat too many; you will have tummy discomforts, but one package of these didn't bother me.

* These are phenomenal. I feel for the previous users side effects. I've not had a problem with any of Atkins "sweet" treats. These taste just like the more popular version! I highly recommend these wonderful creations. Thank you Atkins.

* I love these m&m like candies. They are creamy and satisfy my sweet tooth. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because if you eat too many (2 packs) your stomach will rebel! But then again, this nasty side effect ensures you will only eat 1 pack.

* Where I work there is a constant stream of traffic to the office supply of m&m's. As an individual following a low-carb lifestyle, I never touch them.

When I saw atkins has continued its trend of making low-carb, mock-candy with an M&M imitator with only 1g of net carbs, I couldn't help but want to try the peanut variety!

Sadly, the candy shell overwhelms the peanut and chocolate flavors, and the peanuts inside the candies seem overly blanched - almost like stale peanuts with a plasticine, flavorless, textureless mouthfeel. Not enough crunch or peanut taste!

If the chocolate in the shell was more pronounced and the peanuts used in the peanut variety were higher quality/saltier/unblanched, I would buy these as snacks all the time. At this point I think I won't be getting them again...

If only these were as good as the chocolate covered coconut endulge bar (mounds!) or the peanut butter patties (reeses!), which taste like a less sweet, denser version of the "real thing".

* BEWARE!! Main ingredient is Malitol. If you eat more than a package (which is a small amount, think less than half of a pack of M&Ms) you may experience some major stomach issues. Malitol is known for inducing cramping and all sorts of problems.

The taste is pretty good, but they need to make it with something besides malitol.
